Note: Tomas Bugg retired during the pre-season without playing a game for the club.
Also in a new rule for season 2019, the Blues also picked up Michael Gibbons and Matthew Cottrell through the Supplementary Pre-Draft Arrangements. Both boys had been able to train with Carlton in the pre-season, where the Blues entered the list 1 short but also lost Sam Docherty to an ACL. Both boys join as Rookies but can play come Round 1.

Elevations: Ciaran Byrne was played as a rookie through the year, and Cameron Wood was promoted for an LTI but did not play a game. At season's end, Ciaran Byrne was promoted to the full list whilst Wood retired.

NB * Denotes that the player never played, or is yet to play, a senior game for Carlton. "N" denotes player as a nominated rookie, and thus able to play senior games for Carlton through the year. "I" denotes player as an International Rookies, a subset of the Rookie Rules for players not brought up in Australia with our National Code. The international rookie list is somewhat maintained outside the regular rookie list, with a maximum of two per season that can be introduced, albeit at the expense of rookie draft selections. Another component entirely is the International Scholarship list, which is an entirely seperate list similar to the NSW scholarship list.
